I heard that this release has some kind of additional launcher that needs an account, and doesn't work great on Deck. Can anyone confirm?

I welcome any feedback, just trying to do my part into building the community---
Yeah unfortunately it has the awful EA launcher tacked onto it, which you also need an account for. I had to launch the game from desktop mode to actually get through the EA login for the first time. After that steam does a pretty good job of keeping it out of your face. Every once in a while EA updates it and breaks a bunch of things, then Valve fixes it again. Fucking EA.
Edit: The games work great otherwise. I always check here before buying: https://www.protondb.com/app/1328670 There are tons of games that Valve has not verified but still work great on the deck.
Am I reading the description correctly and it’s all three games?
EDIT: oh, and requires Origin client. Pass.
